I Design and I make Art. The relationship between these two disciplines, the tension between expression and utilitarian usage in Art & Design, I find exciting.

Born and raised in Belfast I decided early in my education to head in the direction of the arts. I graduated from the University of Ulster with a BA (Hons) in Visual Communication in 1996.

I exhibit this work nationally and more recently, internationally.,
